Counter service on Little Bourke built for speed—this no-fuss warung setup powers through lunch without the CBD drag. The midday crowd orders the Iga Bakar: marinated lamb ribs charred sweet and tender enough to slide right off the bone, paired with house sambal and savory broth. Seasoned woks blister the Mie Goreng until the noodles catch a crisp, smoky edge. Grab utensils from the counter and round out the tray with an iced Teh Tarik.
